Very fun and creative take on a golf game. That character model and controller are well executed. The camera can be a bit wonky, but it adds to the sillyness. Home is where the web is!

I like the idea here a lot, the controls feel pretty solid aside from some occasional camera collisions with terrain. Bonus points for "Double Buggy" :)

This was really cool! Like the other comments, camera was a bit weird at time, but it didn't take away from the fun experience!

Very impressive! The camera is a bit odd at times but the spider is really cool and the movement is very well done. Overall really great work

Looks like we have small bug when playing in windowed mode, this should only affect the web build but if your camera is constantly rotating try playing in full-screen mode (bottom right corner) while we work on a fix.

Great golfing game!

You can get locked into a weird state when landing on the edge of a platform where Buggie keeps trying to walk forward and won't fall off but I can't initiate jump either.

Would be cool to see some furniture and household appliances as level geometry!

Simple and fun, just some problem with the camera

A very original and fun interpretation of golf! 🕷️🏌️‍♂️ The character model and controls are great, and although the camera is a bit unpredictable at times, it adds charm and fun to the game. 😂 I especially liked the idea with "Double Buggy" - it's just fire! 🔥 Overall, the game is a lot of fun, and I want to see more levels with interesting obstacles! 👏

How charming and clean! The hopping was a lot more intuitive than I was worried at first, and I found all of the courses super satisfying to navigate. What a fun game! I was also incredibly impressed with the camera keeping up with all those fun angles

simple idea but very fun mode of playing! I love this game

It gets harder pretty fast, but that's not a bad thing :) I enjoyed playing it and I loved the Atari 2600-like sound effects!

Oh ny gosh, this is sooo good! I know it's just a concept but the creativity here is astounding! Please continue to work on this and make a full game! If you can do online-multiplayer too that would be great.
As soon as I saw that you could stick to walls, my mind was blown, superb game concept!

So much fun, animation setup looks great and so much fun to play! Added on itch to keep track if there's any updates, nice work!

I really love your modeling and the way of using color. The spider here is cute and natural. I really want to explore more, however, I unfortunately
got stuck when I finish my first jump.....

cool idea for a mini golf game. I liked how you could move around a small area to better position your shot. The art was very nice but the legs ik was messed up when I played it. The legs would point in the direction I was moving like if the IK target moved faster than the body.

great job overall. There are a lot of mini golf games but this is a unique take that could be interesting if fully fleshed out

A fun take on golf with spiders! The character is very adorable and I had a lot of fun! I do think the charge meter moves a little too fast for me to hit the correct power most times though. I like web as the finish a lot, good job!

That's awesome! I really like the spider's movement.
Neyo9 Oct 2024, 13:21
That spider is so cute!!! Game's fun, interesting idea,but strange camera, like others saying
multiphonix10 Oct 2024, 21:05
Love the idea! The camera is a little wonky, but it's quite fun to play. It seems like if you pick up a powerup by walking into it (before your shot), it doesn't reset if you miss that shot and undo, and you have to start the whole level over.

One of the top submissions that I've played so far in this jam! I got to the fan drop but couldn't figure out how to proceed (couldn't really tell where the hole was?). Great instructions and the controls felt natural. I really enjoyed using the different walls to get a better angle at the hole. Great job!

Works really well! I like the bouncing walls for added depth.

Really nice! And the controls work very well, which is pretty rare for jam games. I got 28/34 and really enjoyed it, well done!

Really fun game! The controls were super-intuitive and the idea was really clever. If there's one thing I'd add, I guess it would be some kind of indicator where the hole is if it's obstructed, although in most cases it's pretty obvious. Nice job!

Super well fleshed out, a great number of thematic innovations on a golf game. I'm nauseous thinking about some of the math with the direction of the "floor" changing, impressed by how much is going on here.
